Astraware’s ‘Golden Skull’ Game

Astraware, publishers of the oh-so-popular GTS World Racing, have been hard at work with another release for the App Store. This one’s called Golden Skull, and is very similar to Bejeweled in every way.

The goal of this game is to try and get rid of the jewels, while grabbing all the gold coins as you pass them by. Upon downloading this game, you take on the job of finding the Golden Skull, so the name of the game says.

If you’re familiar with the Bejeweled 2 genre of jewel-matching games,
then you’re well on your way to understanding Golden Skull. In this
game, you’re introduced to a character who has gotten into debt and
needs money, so he takes on the job of finding the Golden Skull. In
each stop along the way, you tap groups of jewels of the same color to
make them disappear, which accumulates points — more points for more
jewels eliminated. When you get to a certain point level, you get a
gold coin. Five gold coins gets you to the next village on your journey.
